Thank You Geisha Card

Here's my entry in this week's Willow Sketchie Challenge that I made tonight. I decided to make a Thank You card for a family friend who is looking after my cat, as My Boyfriend and I are going away on Thursday for a week. Hope you all like it. :D

Thank You Geisha Card

I used a red textured card as my base card, I then cut a square out of gold paper 1cm smaller than the card itself and glued it to the center of the card. I made a gold and red Thank You sentiment on the computer and glued it to the bottom left corner of the card.

For the main image element I used a Sliekje Free Japanese Girl Digi Stamp, which I coloured in using Photoshop. For the 2nd image element I used a Free Chinese Dragon Photoshop Brush By Hawkesmont which I printed in gold on a red background. I printed both on white card and attached them to the card using double sided foam tape after finishing the other elements.

 

For the final elements I used a thick red ribbon which I glued across the card about 2/3 of the way down. I then glued a thin gold trimmed red ribbon near the top of the thick red ribbon and a piece of red ric rac towards the bottom. I attached a gold star brad to the ric rac. I then made 2 miniature chop sticks out of a paddle pop stick which I cut to size and shape, I also used a black marker to draw lines around the top of them. I used PVA glue to stick them near the top left of the thick red ribbon.

I enjoyed making this card and the little chop sticks and I would like to thank Miria from Willow Sketchie Challenge for an awesome sketch. Good luck to all that enter. :D
